So you just don't use remote filesystems? That's a solution!
Honestly, whenever the init system is configured correctly, you don't run into these problems all ops know a story about. It helps that systemd makes it easier to configure dependencies so that only the units depending on remote fs stall when it is unavailable.

- snuxoll 10y agoautofs is great, combined with NFS4 and FreeIPA it's even not a total pain in the butt to configure on a whole farm of servers (having my home directory easily available with my ZSH configuration from every system I log into is great.)
- karlshea 10y agoI found out about autofs when I was trying to figure out some SMB issues while mounting NAS shares on a media server. It was so ridiculously easy to set up. All of the "copy and paste" newbie answers always involve modifying fstab and there are always issues on boot, but autofs just works. It makes me wonder why it's not recommended as often.
